Vivienne Tam embraces Pop Art

Images of President Obama, Maoe’s writings, mass media and popular culture were seen on a simple yet exciting “pop art” collection from Vivienne Tam this past Sunday evening. Models strut their stuff to the sound of Madonna’s Truth or Dare, while celebrating the Year of The Snake with style. Despite the red background and at times, splashes of color that were seen on the clothes, there was something quite tame about the overall collection.

This in itself is not necessarily a bad thing. The Fall/Winter 2013 collection from Vivienne Tam comprised of fabrics such as silk, wool melton, leather, hi-tech synthetics, boucle and houndstooth. All popular materials for day to day living. The feel of the collection was very much in tune with Pop Art, and had a common thread which cultured, and everyday people can easily identify with.
